The short QT syndrome as a paradigm to understand the role of potassium channels in ventricular fibrillation.

Abstract excerpt

The recently discovered hereditary channelopathy, the Short QT Syndrome (SQTS), is an important advance in clinical and molecular cardiology that has opened new doors for investigating the manner in which alterations in excitability and action potential morphology may facilitate the occurrence of ventricular fibrillation. In this brief review we address the molecular and genetic features of SQTS in which specific...
